Sumidero Canyon & Chiapa de Corzo Tour

Escape from Tuxtla Gutierrez to explore the natural landmark, the Sumidero Canyon, and the colonial town of Chiapa de Corzo.

Sumidero Canyon & Chiapa de Corzo Tour

We will pick you up from your hotel and depart for Sumidero Canyon. After a short drive, we will board a boat for a two-hour tour of this natural wonder.

During the boat tour of Sumidero Canyon, we will navigate the canyon’s sheer rock walls, which rise approximately 1,000 (3280 feet) meters high. Expect to see lush vegetation and various wildlife, such as crocodiles, spider monkeys, and pelicans.

Following the boat tour, we will travel to Chiapa de Corzo, the first colonial city founded by the Spaniards in 1528. We will learn about its history and explore significant buildings, including a 16th-century Mudejar-style fountain and the ex-Convent of Santo Domingo.

You will have one hour of free time for lunch before we visit the Sumidero Canyon viewpoints for a different perspective of the gorge.

Our excursion concludes with a return to Tuxtla Gutierrez, arriving approximately 8 hours later.

Zoomat

The Sumidero Canyon viewpoints are closed on Tuesdays. If you book this tour on a Tuesday, we will visit Zoomat, a zoo featuring endangered species, instead of the viewpoints.
